Firstly I ought to say that the Scissor Sisters concert on Thursday was fantastic. One and a half hours of pure camp rock! Lots of things to dance to from Take Your Mama out and Filthy Gorgeous to I Can't decide and Kiss you off! And of course, the finale- the big ending- I don't fell like dancing got everyone off their feet, including all the old farts sitting around us. However, one group of people that had no problem showing their 'enthusiasm' was the group behind us which included 'Drunk Girl' and 'Diva Boy'. And it was the drunk girl that kicked me in the head- accidentally. The problem with the o2 seating is that it is very steep. When someone is sitting down, and then their head is at the same level as the feet of the people behind- and it was at a moment of dance frenzy that the girl behind accidentally kicked me, but that happened right before the end number, when she had got even more drunk. However throughout the evening I and a lady next to me (who as worse off) got a few drinks spilled over us too! But the most embarrassing thing was the behaviour of the 'Diva Boy'. He spent most of the evening strutting up and down the staircase stripping off and dancing in a very camp and provocative way to every number that he recognised. I am pretty sure that he didn't see any of the concert. He really just wanted to be the centre of attention!!
When the 'Drunk Girl' kicked me and apologised, we started chatting - well she was chatting and I was doing my best to ignore her- but obviously in her inebriated state I had suddenly become her new best friend. I even got a kiss before we left (much to my OH's horror). And then the staircase diva grabbed my hand and shook it "Oh here he is, the star of the staircase" I said trying to get away. "Oh how so very kind of you to say" he replied and let me go. Thank God!
It was 10:45 pm when the concert ended. Then we had to try to get home. e knew that our last train was at a quarter to midnight- after that we would be buggered! But we new how long it took to get there so it shouldn't have been a problem.... well it wouldn't have been if it wasn't for the thousands of other people trying to get home and the fact that the police had locked all but one door to the underground station. We were there for ages! We finally got through at 11:30.
We managed to get a train and headed for London Bridge. It was 11:40pm and we were still on the tube. The last train of the evening was about to go in five minutes, unfortunately we were ten minutes away from the station.
Will we make the train? Or will we be stranded in the middle of London?
